But it was mortality that made them what they were, the flame that blazed brighter for it's flickering

Summary

This quote suggests that the inevitability of death is what gives significance and meaning to individuals or objects. The imagery of a flame that burns more intensely because it is finite and eventually extinguished, implies that mortal beings or things are valued and appreciated more due to their impermanence. The transient nature of life heightens the intensity of experiences and makes them more impactful and precious. It implies that mortality is not a weakness, but rather a catalyst for greatness and vitality.
